Hurricanes and tropical depressions in Honduras

Hurricanes and tropical depressions in Honduras

Honduras is one of the countries hardest hit by Atlantic and Caribbean hurricanes and tropical depressions, with events such as Mitch (1998) and Eta and Iota (2020).

Flooding and landslides

More than the wind, the greatest danger is the intense rain, which causes flooding — especially in the Sula valley around San Pedro Sula — and landslides on hillside areas.

How to prepare

  • Follow the alerts from COPECO and the national weather service.
  • Avoid rivers, gullies and low-lying areas during heavy rain.
  • Follow the radar and the system's track on Meteo Info Online.
